Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a vacuum valve, an electromagnet including a first coil for driving an operating shaft of the vacuum valve toward an opening direction by electromagnetic repulsion, a movable core and a permanent magnet. Further, an operating mechanism is provided which excites the first coil to close the vacuum valve, holds the vacuum valve closed by an attractive force of the permanent magnet and excites the first coil in a direction reverse to an excitation direction in closing operation to open the vacuum valve. In the circuit breaker, together with the first coil, a second coil is disposed which is excited simultaneously with an electromagnetic repulsion coil for a quick opening operation by electromagnetic repulsion is provided in the electromagnet.

Abstract: This invention provides a selective cellular fibronectin (cFN) adsorbent utilizing a nonwoven cellulose sulfate fabric and a method for fractional purification of FN which-comprises contacting an FN matter containing both plasma fibronectin (pFN) and cellular fibronectin (cFN) with the nonwoven cellulose sulfate fabric to separate pFN and cFN from each other. By the fractional purification method of the invention, cFN and pFN can be fractionated in an expedient manner and with high efficiency and both pFN and cFN can be recovered in high purity and good yield.
